The Straits of Hormuz 2026

    The overwhelming thoughts that I was having today is:

    Why does the United States not control the straits, channels, waterways of Hormuz right now, or for the last month and half?

    How can we (the United States) "end civilization" on one extreme, if we cannot control the few hundred miles of the Straits of Hormuz?

    How stupid are we supposed to be?

    Pretty stupid. Yes.

    Marines could secure it, with enough Air Force and Navy power.

    Why not?

    Are we afraid of the Irani forces? Or just plain dumb?
